Re: Official Trade Roy Hibbert Thread

Watching Hibbert fall to the floor after every contact and mess up his teammate's amazing passes by missing bunnies makes me wanna crack my head open. I'm really hoping that the return of Granger can help get Hibbert going.

Re: Official Trade Roy Hibbert Thread

Give me a break, he is the anchor to the best defense in the league. He blocked 5 shots and challenged/deterred many more than that... Stats can't paint the whole picture when it comes to a guy that does so much for our defense (or if you do want a stat, he's near the top of the league in defensive win shares).

Nights like this when the Raptors are taking allot of jump shots when he is in there (b/c he's preventing drives) the defensive rebounds are going to be long... hmm wonder why PG had 14 rebounds.......

Re: Official Trade Roy Hibbert Thread

There is a reason he got 3 rebounds tonight, cause a rookie (for the most part) was abusing him and he done nothing to fight back. Of course if he did, I'm sure the refs would've had something to say about it, so It's a moot point really.

Hibbert needs to get more aggressive, but I'm ok with his play right now, overall. He is to big to be out there playing out of his mind cause he will just end up hurting himself. He just needs to know he has to step it up come playoffs and I think he will. JMO

Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.

Re: Official Trade Roy Hibbert Thread

I don't necessarily think we need Roy to score all the time. Some of his misses and dropped passes are frustrating, but we have other guys on the floor that do a lot more than they did last year. Roy makes a difference out there and the thing I like best is I know he always is giving maximum effort. As a fan, it's a lot easier to be ok with a guy struggling if you know he is working hard.
